I'm not sure I have a good answer either. I do have a few rules I use when preparing for a race. (Not that I've been running or racing all that long!) 1. Keep your mileage up. 2. Do one long,easy run per week 3. Do one hard, intense workout -such as hills or speed work, per week. 4. Look online for race training plans and then use their suggestions to tailor your own (I especially life Jeff Galloway and Hal Higdon's approach) 5. Have fun training! It's the best part. Great question. I’m not sure I have a good answer either. I do have a few rules I use when preparing for a race. (Not that I’ve been running or racing all that long!)

1. Keep your mileage up.

2. Do one long,easy run per week

3. Do one hard, intense workout -such as hills or speed work, per week.

4. Look online for race training plans and then use their suggestions to tailor your own (I especially life Jeff Galloway and Hal Higdon’s approach)

5. Have fun training! It’s the best part.
